Summer officially starts tomorrow, and it can be the MOST productive time of the year for writers.
If you work a regular job, your summer schedule may be a bit easier than the rest of the year.
So try to schedule more writing time during these summer months.
Also, start thinking about seasonal queries for magazines, blogs, and other publications.
And don’t forget that magazines usually plan at least 6 months in advance, so send queries related to winter holidays and events to get the jump on all those other writers who slack off during the summer.
Do a Google search for “special holidays in December” to see what crazy holidays and special events are coming up this winter to generate some query ideas.
Take a workshop or writing course to improve your skills.
Try writing something you’ve never written before, like a screenplay or some poetry.
Hunker down and finally write that book you’ve been meaning to write for years!
As life takes on a somewhat slower pace during the summer, use your time wisely to make it your most productive, yet enjoyable, time of the year.
